AA Thought for the Day

February 14, 2009

Happiness

I have found a joy in living that has nothing to do with money or material success.
I know that incomparable happiness that comes from helping
some other fellow get straightened out.
Don't get me wrong. We are not a bunch of angels.
None of us has any notion of becoming such.
But we know that we can never go completely back to old ways
because we are traveling upward through service to others
and in trying to be honest, decent, and loving toward the world.

Thought to Ponder....

Happiness is part of the journey, not some distant destination.
